About This Shade
Garnier Nutrisse shade 42, Deep Burgundy (Black Cherry), is our deepest burgundy shade in our classic Nutrisse range. It also provides 100% gray coverage.

Is This Shade Right For Me?
Deep Burgundy is best for anyone with natural hair between light brown and black. If you prefer a different burgundy shade, check out our Ultra Color range: BR2 Dark Intense Burgundy (Passionfruit), and BR3 Intense Burgundy (Lotus Berry). These shades will reflect much more intensely but please note that Ultra Color is not designed for 100% gray coverage. If burgundy isn't for you and you would like to stay in the dark brown range, there are many shades to choose from including 40 Dark Brown (Dark Chocolate), 413 Bronze Brown (Bronze Sugar), 415 Soft Mahogany Brown (Raspberry Truffle), 43 Dark Golden Brown (Cocoa Bean), and 434 Deep Chestnut Brown (Chocolate Chestnut).

For anyone who currently has their hair colored, there are special considerations for the color result you can achieve. Because of this, we do not recommend shade 42 for hair that has been previously colored shade 30 Darkest Brown (Sweet Cola) or darker. For more help, use our Shade Selector Tool to find the shade for you!

FAQ

What color result can I expect from Deep Burgundy?

Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Creme shade 42, Deep Burgundy (Black Cherry), is our deepest burgundy shade in our classic Nutrisse range. It provides a deep, rich burgundy shade with 100% gray coverage.

Is this shade suitable for my natural hair color?

Deep Burgundy is best for anyone with natural hair between light brown and black. If you prefer a more intense reflection, you might check out our Ultra Color range, though those shades are not designed for 100% gray coverage.

Can I use this if my hair is already colored dark?

We do not recommend Nutrisse Ultra Creme shade 42 for hair that has been previously colored with any brand of dark brown or darker. As dark brown is deeper than shade 42, the results of shade 42 will not be visible, as hair color cannot predictably lighten previously colored hair.

How does this hair color nourish my hair?

The formula nourishes as it colors for hair that is 2x shinier and silkier vs. uncolored, unwashed hair. The kit comes with a fruit oil ampoule that you pour directly into the color mixture and an after-color conditioner infused with 5 responsibly-sourced oils: avocado, olive, coconut, argan and shea oils.

Is the application process difficult or messy?

No, our rich, non-drip hair color crème formula spreads easily through all hair for both the first-time user or the user that needs to retouch their roots. It also smells great while you apply it.

Minimal gray coverage

Gray coverage is minimal. Tried it twice. Will NOT be purchasing again. The formulation must have changed.

Turned my hair orange!

19 days ago
Be very careful in using this shade. The photo on the box shows hair color that is closest to my natural color. I bought this to even out my grey areas. Instead of this happening, it turned all of my hair a bright orange. Now I have to pay a professional lots of money to fix it.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Not what it used to be

23 days ago
I purchased 3 boxes of 61 - Light Extra Ash Brown, as they were on sale and I know Garnier is a Loreal company. I had used Nutrisse a few years ago, but the formula has definitely changed. The color fades gradually into a lighter color I cannot even describe & the gray coverage does not last. I was a Loreal Excellence Light Ash Brown customer prior and am going back to what worked.

No, I do not recommend this product.

I loved this product the first time I tried it! I will post a picture of the first time, where my result was a beautiful dark reddish, purple. I just recently redid it with the same color and got a wildly different result of fiery red. Be warned.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Fantastic!

This product has been my favorite hair dye since i was younger, every time we went to the store for hair dying purposes I’d look for Garnier! The after-wash makes my hair so soft and silky! I love how potent the hair dye is without having very harsh chemicals. I appreciate how much responsibility and care the company has for this product and i will continue using it for years to come!

Terrible now 😢😡

a month ago
Terrible!!!! Previously used the Garnier dark red brown and the medium red brown for over 10 years and received continuous compliments UNTIL Garnier discontinued the dark red brown and reformulated the medium rb Sangria which is NOW absolutely terrible!! The crème does NOT mix evenly in the developer at all no matter even if you used an industrial paint mixer. The color now produces orange brassy roots and ruins your hair. The Garnier team that made these changes need to be fired or just CLOSE shop NOW😢😡

    • A: Hello, Thanks for reaching out! Because your bleached hair is highly porous and lack natural pigment, applying dark dye straight over them will likely cause the ends to absorb too much color, turn out patchy, or fade into a muddy green or gray. We would like to help! Please call Garnier @ 1-800-442-7643 Monday-Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM ET and provide case #46993788. We look forward to your call!

    • A: Hello, Thanks for reaching out! Yes, you can apply #61 light ash brown over honey brown hair. The ash (cool) tones will help neutralize the warm, brassy, or yellow/orange undertones of your current honey brown hair, resulting in a cooler shade. Thanks for your interest in Garnier!

    • A: Our products are tested to have at least a 3-year shelf life if unopened and stored at normal room temperature. During this time, they should retain their integrity and perform as expected. If your product looks and smells normal, it's likely still good to use. Some products, like sunscreens, may have an expiration date printed on them.
